Oh my god this thread and several of the people in it.
I know you’re only talking about me and Warbler; you don’t have to obscure it.
I didn’t realize my sighing was annoying everyone so much.
I didn’t (and still don’t, to be honest) think I was sighing any more that I usually do.
On page 498 of this thread, there were 20 matches for a search for "*sigh*. It definitely feels as if the volume of *sigh*s is going up.
One page and one post. Not really much to go on.
Valid point. But regardless of the numbers, the feel of the volume of *sigh*s is up.
- I am just curious, and I don’t ask this to be a jerk, if I just quoted all the posts and just made one sigh instead of on one sigh for each, would it have still set this off?
It would have been better. We would have still have to scroll through a lot of posts, but it would be better. If you really wanted to *sigh*, I think you just should have just made one post with the word *sigh*.
Then people would have been wondering which post or posts I was sighing.
It would still have been fairly obvious.
- I sighed nonsense posts. I asked a serious question about why Garland was mentioned, multiple people made jokes and I sighed them. Is this really all that unusual for this place?
No, but the volume of *sigh*s is.
Have I really sighed all that more often in the last month than I usually do?
It definitely feels that way.

it probably wouldn’t have. although quoting a hundred things is still annoying, it isn’t annoying as quoting a hundred things, with a response to each of those things.
Well if I want to respond to a hundred posts, why shouldn’t I quote them? It avoids confusion as to what I am replying to.
The Garland conversation was the only discussion happening at that time, so people would have know what you were responding to.
But they would not have known which post or posts I was replying to.
I think people would have gotten the gist of it. Things don’t have to be explicit for people to get them.

- I didn’t know that pic was called a sighscraper. I thought you usually used that pic to complain about posts that were too long.
It is not. The colloquial name for the past few years is the bunny, but NeverarGreat coined the term sighscraper in response to Frink’s posts in response to your *sigh* posts.

Since you guys can never seem to understand what I say, here’s the full explanation of the meaning of that post:
Warb, you don’t have to stop with the *sigh*s. Just don’t overuse them.
This was in response to this post:
I didn’t read the post carefully enough and missed the “no more sighs” part. I am sorry.
But I do hope it is not any order for all the threads. The “*sigh*” is kinda my thing. I do hope I don’t have to stop entirely.
In any event. To calm things down. I won’t post in this thread for awhile.
I’m not sure how this got expanded into a general, mythical “thing” when Warbler only mentioned in his post *sigh*s, and I only mentioned in my post the *sighs*. That’s just a fundamental misunderstanding of both of our posts. If you were to expand it to that general “thing,” please state what you’re talking about.
Furthermore, doing something just because it is your “thing” has been a perfectly acceptable excuse on this forum before. Many more senior forum members here have been given license to do things that would not be allowed to users with less standing.
Finally, I do agree that there are some parts of Warbler’s behavior as of late that do irritate me. I’m just annoyed at this misunderstanding.
It feels like those things. I was not saying those were the only two things that could happen to you.
Look up what an analogy is.
I don’t know; it just feels like you didn’t drink your coffee or woke up on the wrong side of the bed.
What I am saying is not unreasonable.
Yeah but you always think that, otherwise you wouldn’t say what you say.
This applies to every human being.
You’re acting weirdly today.
What I am saying is not unreasonable.
I did read your post. Did you not read my response to a portion of it?
Still, it is not appreciated.
Yes we are ready for you to get ready to go to dinner and ready for you dinner and we can get ready for dinner ready to go get dinner we are at the church so you dinner will go to dinner and dinner dinner and ready for dinner and dinner tonight we have to get ready to go to eat at home and we have to get back home from work and we can get ready to go get dinner.
you ok?
Yet?
Huh?
He’s clearly not been ok from the start
Very nice.
I’m not joking. The constant sighs in every single post are really annoying, and seeing twelve of them in the same damn post pushed me over the edge.
Is the sighscraper really any better though?
Did you not read my post about protest?
Do I post a sighscraper in response to every post I don’t like in every thread I read?
Silly comparison, man.
You posted it twice, and it’s arguably much more annoying than the sighs because it’s a lot to scroll through.
Holy carp.

Sometimes you have to ruffle some feathers to make an effective protest. Maybe you kneel during the National Anthem, maybe you post a sighscraper*.
*Wish I had thought of that first.
If only oojason hadn’t said this:
Knock it off please, lads.
Okay? I’m not sure what your point is.
You continued to knock it on (?) after jason told you to knock it off, I assume. (?)
It’s hard to feel like Trump is the worst human on Earth when there is so much competition these days.
Here’s more!
Rosa Maria Hernandez was brought to the United States illegally from Mexico in 2007 when she was 3 months old, according to her mother, Felipa de la Cruz, to get access to better medical care. The family lives in Laredo, Texas, and all are undocumented.
The girl was traveling in an ambulance — accompanied by her cousin — to Driscoll Children’s Hospital in Corpus Christi on Tuesday when federal immigration officers stopped the vehicle at a checkpoint.
The Border Patrol agents followed the ambulance to the hospital. According to the family’s lawyer, Leticia Gonzalez, the agents insisted the door to her hospital room be left open at all times to keep an eye on her.
On Wednesday, the hospital discharged Rosa Maria. The lawyer, reading the discharge papers on a conference call with reporters, said doctors recommended the child be released to “a family member who is familiar with her medical and psychological needs.”
But officers decided to transport the girl to a government-contracted juvenile shelter in San Antonio, 150 miles from Laredo, and put her into deportation proceedings.
Here’s the dangerous criminal that our country is now protected from.
Guys, armadillos crossing the border is a serious problem.
My comment on the *sigh*ing situation remains the same as on October 23:
Warb, you don’t have to stop with the *sigh*s. Just don’t overuse them.
I also don’t get why people got worked up over this statement, as I essentially said the same thing dahmage said in the next post in that thread.
Not sure why we have to focus on H.W. now.
Apparently this started once he got to be 90 years old and wheelchair bound. At least he and his people offered an apology.
You’re kidding, right?
“President Bush would never — under any circumstance — intentionally cause anyone distress, and he most sincerely apologizes if his attempt at humor offended Ms. Lind,” the statement said.
McGrath issued a second statement later Wednesday to provide context.
“At age 93, President Bush has been confined to a wheelchair for roughly five years, so his arm falls on the lower waist of people with whom he takes pictures,” McGrath said. “To try to put people at ease, the president routinely tells the same joke — and on occasion, he has patted women’s rears in what he intended to be a good-natured manner. Some have seen it as innocent; others clearly view it as inappropriate. To anyone he has offended, President Bush apologizes most sincerely.”
This is one of the worst excuses I’ve heard for sexual harassment/assault, and that’s leaving out the non-apology of “to anyone I offended” which is a way of saying "I did nothing wrong and sorry you’re so sensitive.
Idk. Fuck everyone involved. I hate everyone including all of them.
That’s a bit of a cop-out.

I see what you did there.

Yes we are ready for you to get ready to go to dinner and ready for you dinner and we can get ready for dinner ready to go get dinner we are at the church so you dinner will go to dinner and dinner dinner and ready for dinner and dinner tonight we have to get ready to go to eat at home and we have to get back home from work and we can get ready to go get dinner.
Don’t trust Duracell’s dictionary. It’s probably in Canadian English.
It’s alright; he’s using Webster.
So…they already doubled their efforts once?
redouble

Sir, I believe you are using human words.
JEDIT: God damned simultaneous creation.
